Chronic Pain Impacts 76 Million Americans
Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Relieve Patient "Drug Fog"
NEW YORK, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Afflicting countless people worldwide, chronic pain is a largely misunderstood and under-treated disease that forever alters the lives of more than 50 million Americans each year.
Many patients endure inadequate treatments and are forced to rely on prescription pain-killers that do little if anything to alleviate their symptoms and often lead to addiction.
According to the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) and American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP), among the most effective viable alternatives to this course of action is spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS).
SCS and PNS have been overwhelmingly proven to be among two of the most effective tools in treating chronic pain; and patients can avoid side effects associated with traditional pain medications such as excessive sedation or clouding of thoughts.
"Patients do not feel like they are living in a 'drug fog,'" stated Dr. Joshua Prager, a California-based pain specialist and member of NANS and ASIPP. "One can look at these devices as pacemakers for the nervous system, which help to control nerve-related pain. Patients should weigh all their options, especially when pain persists, to maximize their chances of achieving pain relief."
September has been designated National Pain Awareness Month to help educate the public about the options and benefits of choosing a pain management program. The following are a few facts about SCS and PNS:
- Neuromodulation therapy enables many patients to increase their activity levels and improve overall quality of life.
- Similar in function and appearance to cardiac pacemakers, spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation deploys the use of neurostimulation devices that send micro-electrical signals directly to the spinal cord or peripheral nerves to block pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
- SCS delivers low-intensity electrical pulses that diminish or block the severity of the pain message to the brain with a tingling sensation.
- Patients are often able to reduce or eliminate their use of pain medications, which can potentially have multiple negative side effects including dependency.
- Implanting the device usually requires only a minor surgical procedure, and once activated, the system can be programmed to best control individual levels of pain.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
- Peripheral Nerve Stimulation is a similar neuromodulation technique in which electrical stimulation is applied instead to the peripheral nerves. It can also help alleviate chronic pain that has not responded to less invasive procedures.
- PNS is extremely useful for treating pain in areas that are not as accessible to spinal cord or spinal-nerve root stimulation.
- PNS has been used to treat a variety of conditions including chronic headaches, peripheral nerve injuries, facial pain, post-hernia surgery pain, low back pain and a variety of other conditions.
- Sacral Nerve Stimulation has been used for the treatment of bladder dysfunction (neurogenic bladder), pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis, and other conditions.
All pain evaluations should be undertaken by a board certified physician and pain management specialist. To find a qualified pain management physician in your area go to http://www.asippmembersite.org/Search/Search.php.
About the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS):
The North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) is dedicated to being the premier organization representing neuromodulation. NANS promotes multidisciplinary collaboration among clinicians, scientists, engineers, and others to advance neuromodulation through education, research, innovation and advocacy. Through these efforts NANS seeks to promote and advance the highest quality patient care. http://www.neuromodulation.org/
About The American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP):
ASIPP's mission statement is to promote the development and practice of safe, high quality, cost-effective Interventional Pain Management techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of pain and related disorders, and to ensure patient access to these interventions.

Those dark undercurrents are overshadowed by some great song-and-dance performances. The musics great, no doubt: Theres a definitive version of White Christmas by Crosby along with the lovely Be Careful, Its My Heart. (That Irving Berlin guy certainly knew what he was doing.) And the dancings excellent. Astaire does an unforgettable routine with live firecrackers for partners as well as a drunken number thats as good as it gets for movie musicals (the guy even falls down gracefully!).

How to Create Text on a Path in Adobe Illustrator
Two Methods:Text on a LineText on a Shape
Often a designer must have text following an open path or a closed path, or shape, to create a design element involving type. Text-on-a-path can be used to create stickers, emblems, and awards. This article will illustrate how to have text follow a path or shape using Adobe Illustrator (AI).
Method 1 of 2: Text on a Line
1Draw a straight line using the Pen Tool (P) from the Tools Panel. Then, select the Convert Anchor Point Tool (Shift + C) and drag the handles of one anchor point to a 45 degree angle. This will create a small arc.Ad
2Next, hold the mouse down on the Type Tool (T) in the Tools Panel to view the flyout menu. Select the Type on a Path Tool and click on the top of the arc in the artboard.
3From the top menu, choose Window > Type > Paragraph. In the Paragraph Menu, select Align Left. Type a phrase and the text will begin on the left side of the arc and follow the path.
4To move the text on the path, select the Direct Selection Tool (A) from the Tools Panel and click on the left bracket (near the anchor point). A small perpendicular icon will appear.
5Hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and drag the bracket to move the text along the path. To flip the text to the opposite side of the path, drag the perpendicular icon to the other side of the path. This time, don't hold down the Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) keys.
6The alignment of the text on the path can also be changed. Choose Type > Type on a Path > Type on a Path Options. In the Type on a Path Options window, there is a drop down menu for Align to Path that includes: Ascender, Descender, Center, and Baseline. The Ascender (1) option moves the text below the path and aligned with the top of the text. The Descender (2) option moves the text above the path and aligned with the bottom of the text. The Center (3) option has the path running through the halfway point of the text. The Baseline (4) option is the default and aligns the text to the base path.Ad
Method 2 of 2: Text on a Shape
1Draw a circle using the Ellipse Tool (L) from the Tools Panel. Select the Type on a Path Tool as before in Method 1.
2Click on the top center of the circle and begin typing. Again, use the brackets and perpendicular icon to drag the text along the circle or flip the text inside the circle.
3Almost any shape will work! Repeat the same steps to create text on a square, polygon, or even a spiral (hidden tool on the flyout menu for the Line Segment Tool (\) in the Tools Panel). Adjust the size of the font based on the shape and have fun experimenting!Ad

Hope is a state of mind independent of the state of the world. If your heart's full of hope, you can be persistent when you can't be optimistic. You can keep the faith despite the evidence, knowing that only in so doing has the evidence any chance of changing. So while I'm not optimistic, I'm always very hopeful.
William Sloane Coffin
There's always hope... even when there isn't faith. And sometimes, without hope or faith, there must be charity.
Orson Scott Card
A new generation of Christians is being called to help build a world in which God's gift of life is welcomed, respected and cherished-not rejected, feared as a threat and destroyed. A new age in which love is not greedy or self-seeking, but pure, faithful and genuinely free, open to others, respectful of their dignity, seeking their good, radiating joy and beauty - a new age in which hope liberates us from the shallowness, apathy and self-absorption that deaden our souls and poison our relationships.
Pope Benedict XVI
I want to teach you five of those things which deserve your greatest anxiety to acquire them: Have hope only in God. Be afraid of nothing but sins. If you do not know a thing never feel ashamed to admit ignorance. If you do not know a thing never hesitate or feel ashamed to learn it. Acquire patience and endurance because their relation with true faith is that of a head to a body, a body is of no use without a head, similarly true faith can be of no use without attributes of resignation, endurance and patience.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
He is the wisest and the most knowing man who advises people not to lose hope and faith in the Mercy of God and not to be too sure and over-confident of immunity from His Wrath and Punishment.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
God is by definition the holder of all possible knowledge, it would be impossible for him to have faith in anything. Faith, then, is built upon ignorance and hope.
Stephen Valentine Patrick William Allen
Extremists in your midst spread propaganda claiming that the West is engaged in a war against Islam. This propaganda is false, and its purpose is to confuse you and justify acts of terror. This propaganda is false, and its purpose is to confuse you and justify acts of terror. We respect Islam, but we will protect our people from those who pervert Islam to sow death and destruction. Our goal is to help you build a more tolerant and hopeful society that honors people of all faiths and promotes the peace.
George Walker Bush
I can stand up for hope, faith, love But while I'm getting over certainty Stop helping God across the road Like a little old lady
Paul David Hewson
There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, its endurance. Love will never come to an end. Prophecies will cease; tongues of ecstasy will fall silent; knowledge will vanish...there are three things that last forever.
Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
Erich Fromm
Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
Erich Fromm
DELUSION, n. The father of a most respectable family, comprising Enthusiasm, Affection, Self-denial, Faith, Hope, Charity and many other goodly sons and daughters.

BackTrack BETA 4 Released for Public Download
The Remote Exploit Development Team is happy to announce the release of BackTrack 4 Beta. In this latest version of BackTrack 4 there have been some conceptual changed and some new and exciting features. The most significant of these changes is the expansion from the realm of a Pentesting LiveCD towards a full blown "Distribution".
Now based on Debian core packages and utilizing the Ubuntu software repositories, BackTrack 4 can be upgraded in case of update. When syncing with the BackTrack repositories, you will regularly get security tool updates soon after they are released.
If you don't know what BackTrack is – it's the result of merging the two innovative penetration testing live linux distributions Auditor and Whax. Backtrack provides a thorough pentesting environment which is bootable via CD, USB or the network (PXE). The tools are arranged in an intuitive manner, and cover most of the attack vectors. Complex environments are simplified, such as automatic Kismet configuration, one click Snort setup, precompiled Metasploit lorcon modules, etc. BackTrack has been dubbed the #1 Security Live CD by Insecure.org, and #36 overall.
New Features
- Kernel 18.104.22.168 with better hardware support.
- Native support for Pico e12 and e16 cards is now fully functional, making BackTrack the first pentesting distro to fully utilize these awesome tiny machines.
- Support for PXE Boot – Boot BackTrack over the network with PXE supported cards!
- SAINT EXPLOIT – kindly provided by SAINT corporation for our users with a limited number of free IPs.
- MALTEGO – The guys over at Paterva did outstanding work with Maltego 2.0.2 – which is featured in BackTrack as a community edition.
- The latest mac80211 wireless injection patches are applied, with several custom patches for rtl8187 injection speed enhancements. Wireless injection support has never been so broad and functional.
- Unicornscan – Fully functional with postgress logging support and a web front end.
- RFID support
- Pyrit CUDA support…
- New and updated tools – the list is endless!
This BETA release is considered stable and usable. Some tools were kept back from this version, and will be soon added to the repositories. Some minor bugs have been discovered and will be fixed with updated packaged.
It would also be appreciated if you could use this latest release and give some feedback to the development team to improve it and ensure it works with your specific hardware config (especially the wireless features).

The WSJ's sports blog rounds up some good stories about 1955 World Series hero and legendary pitching coach Johnny Podres. With Podres' death, only a handful of the Dodgers of the early to mid 50s remain, most notably the team's young slugger Duke Snider.
Time flies. I can recall Old Timers Days when some of the 1927 Yankees were still around. There are still a fair amount of living Brooklyn Dodgers, but I think Snider and Newcombe are the only ones left who are really associated with that era in people's memories. Well, also Ralph Branca.
I believe Carl Erskine and Preacher Roe are still alive, too. But I believe other than them it's minor players who came up at the tail end, the best known of whom are Zimmer, Lasorda and Roger Craig.
And Koufax, of course.

- How to Read a Study Record
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining imatinib mesylate with bevacizumab in treating patients who have advanced melanoma or other metastatic or unresectable cancer. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Bevacizumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining imatinib mesylate with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Recurrent Melanoma Stage III Melanoma Stage IV Melanoma Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific |
Drug: imatinib mesylate Biological: bevacizumab Other: pharmacological study Other: laboratory biomarker analysis |

Detailed Description:
I. Determine the tolerability, maximum tolerated dose, and lowest biologically active dose of imatinib mesylate and bevacizumab in patients with advanced melanoma or other advanced cancers.
II. Determine the response rate, time to progression, and survival of patients treated with this regimen.
III. Correlate clinical activity with inhibition of platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, flt-1, and markers of angiogenesis in patients treated with this regimen.
IV. Correlate clinical activity with alterations in tumor perfusion as assessed by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and Doppler ultrasound in patients treated with this regimen.
V. Correlate toxicity, clinical activity, and correlative endpoints with the steady-stage plasma concentration of imatinib mesylate in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, open-label study.
PHASE I (closed to accrual as of 8/23/04): Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once or twice daily on days 1-28 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 14. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of imatinib mesylate and bevacizumab until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
PHASE II: Patients receive imatinib mesylate and bevacizumab as in phase I at the MTD.

A New Breed of Agency
Our heritage is in marketing communications, but we understand that today's business challenges require agencies to think differently. To think creatively to solve different kinds of problems in different ways. This means the right answer to a client's problems may be a communications experience, but it may also be a brand solution or a media solution. The common theme running throughout RAPP's approach, and the source of our competitive advantage, is the use of data, culture and technology to solve these complex challenges.
Unlike digital shops that were born digital, or brand agencies that only do traditional advertising, RAPP isn't focused on a particular medium or channel. We're an agency focused on consumers. We're digital because consumers are digital. We're committed to social and mobile media because people are social and mobile. Our solutions work because they're rooted in data, based on an understanding of the brand's context in culture and enabled by technology.
But don't just take our word for it. We've been ranked among the top digital and direct marketing agencies in the U.S. by Ad Age for the past several years. And in July 2012, we were recognized as a "Business Transformer" in Forrester's report on the Interactive Agency Landscape. Business Transformers, Forrester says, will help companies transform business models, invent new products or enter new businesses by envisioning how digital capabilities enable firms to enter adjacent spaces.
Our Culture
We adhere to six core principles at RAPP that guide everything we do.
We Take the Initiative. We are self-starters. We create inspired solutions to problems and originate ideas that move our clients' business forward.
We Collaborate to a Better Solution. We take ownership but share responsibility. We excel at building strong relationships and welcome diverse perspectives as a means of bringing the best thinking to our clients.
We Push Hard for What We Believe is Right. We fight for our clients and are passionate about creating the best solutions for them.
We Take Pride in the Quality of Our Work. We constantly seek to do better. We provide an example to others by always going the extra mile.
We Teach and We Learn. We search for opportunities to make time for personal development. We excite and energize others to grow and achieve personal and agency goals.
We Keep Our Word. We build trust by being reliable and dependable and we always act with honesty and professionalism.
LONDON, 3rd March, 2015: Ian Maynard, managing director of RAPP Media has strengthened his senior team with three appointments, including the promotion of Paul Holman to managing partner.
Last year, Holman was promoted to the RAPP UK Executive Board, comprised of the leadership of all three businesses: Media, Creative and Data. Holman re-joined RAPP in 2009 as a business director, having previously worked as head of media at Everest Poker and Mediacom after an earlier stint as a senior planner at RAPP.
Holman's promotion recognises his leadership of a number of key media clients and for driving integration across the RAPP UK business. In this role he will lead growth across all RAPP Media's clients, helping them address their business challenges with data-led media strategies that get to the core of what drives customer behaviour.
In addition, Suzanne Vestey joins as business director. Vestey will lead a number of key clients and drive integration across the UK business. Vestey joins from ZenithOptimedia, where she was client planning director. She was previously a planning manager at OMD.
These appointments follow the arrival of Jonathan Fink, who recently joined the agency as head of SEO. Fink will be responsible for leading the agency's SEO activity across all clients in the UK and globally. He will also be responsible for delivering SEO strategies across RAPP UK's broader client portfolio. Fink joins from Razorfish, where he was a senior SEO strategist, devising cutting edge technologies and techniques for SEO and uniting all teams to create new services to sell to clients. He will report RAPP's head of digital, Sharon Braude.
Ian Maynard, managing director of RAPP Media, said: "Paul's promotion to managing partner recognises his leadership in the growth of some of our major clients in media and across the wider UK business. His vision for driving further collaboration with our creative and data agencies is delivering against the client need to work with a partner that has all three disciplines aligned".
"I am also delighted to welcome Suzanne and Jonathan to our agency. They both have great experience in areas that are crucial as we build strategies that reflect the changing relationship between brands and consumers."
Paul Holman, managing partner, said: "Our ability to deliver data-driven, content led media strategies with such precision is what clients come to us for. I am really excited to have Suzanne and Jonathan on board to bolster our client solutions. This gives us a fantastic opportunity to grow."

Liberal Studies
Note from the Chair
Welcome Liberal Studies Majors!
The faculty and staff of the Liberal Studies Department eagerly support you in your decision to complete a Liberal Studies degree. Liberal Studies majors pursue a variety of careers – elementary teaching, special education teaching, and an enormous variety of other options (law, social work, small business, just to name a few). The solid liberal arts background in our programs emphasize communication and critical thinking in addition to an interdisciplnary mindset. These are meaningful and relevant to today's fast-changing economy, highlighted in this PBS new story on the emerging artisanal economy, as well as central to creating open-minded and free-thinking individuals, the historic goal of the degree.
Special Event February 18, 2015 - Composing your World: Creativity, Integrative Learning, and You by Kai Kight
The College of Education & Integrative Studies in conjuction with Liberal Studies Department is hosting an event titled Composing your World: Creativity, Integrative Learning, and You by Kai Kight. Mr. Kighnt is a product of Standford University's creative and innovation mecca. Come hear his mesmerizing original on-stage violin performance and listen to his story about how connectin disciplines (music and design) become a site for creativey and innovation. Come join us on February 18th from 4 - 5:30 pm in Ursa Minor, BSC. Light Refreshments will be provided.
Department & Program
The department is entering an exciting time as the university converts to semesters from quarters. Faculty and staff are taking this opportunity to revise the program to make it more relevant for 21st century life: research skills, hands-on learning and technology. As the new department chair, I welcome feedback or suggestions you might have as we move forward. In today's colleges and universities, I feel that students should have a more visible role in how the department serves them and hope to formalize opportunities in the future.
LS Website
While this site is meant to inform you about our programs and events, we wish to remain open to revising it to meet your needs for your degree completion and career preparation. If you have feedback or suggestions about the site revision (information you would like to see on the site or other interactive elements) email me or Rebecca Briseno. Also, find us on Facebook! We will be relaunching the departmental Facebook site this fall to provide more information and connection to department happenings, campus resources and other motivational and career information.
LS Community & Connections
We hope for students, faculty and staff to have a greater sense of community through our student-centered classrooms and connections at departmental social events and experiences. Part of preparing for your future work life is establishing positive relationships with others for work satisfaction for positive quality of life. So, take the time to develop relationships with classmates, staff members and faculty. You should establish especially a connection with Berlinda Crawford, the departmental academic advisor, who will help you with registration, advice on degree progress and referrals to other resources on campus. As a small department, we are more inclined than most to create a feeling of community while you earn your degree. Remember to get the most from your college experience beyond your time here you have to be engaged at multiple levels.
We look forward to getting to know you and helping you to succeed!
Dr. Christina Chávez-Reyes
Chair, Liberal Studies Department

The exotic beauty and extreme durability of tropical hardwoods is tempting, but choosing products without sustainability certification contributes to illegal harvesting, endangerment of species, and irreparable damage to old-growth rainforests. Loggers punch roads through pristine tropical forests and routinely destroy up to twenty-eight trees for every targeted hardwood. Insist on wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which is supported by environmental groups worldwide.
Place of origin: Bolivia, Brazil Used for: Decks, flooring, benches, railing Good choice or not? No. Contributes to deforestation of old-growth forest. Mostly logged from Brazil. Alternatives: FSC-certified maple from managed forests
Place of origin: Latin and South America, Caribbean, Africa Used for: Fine furniture, patio furniture, cabinetry Good choice or not? No. Some species are endangered. Contributes to deforestation, including wholesale stripping of Amazonian rainforests. Peru continues to export illegal mahogany. Alternatives: FSC-certified fir from managed forests
Place of origin: Indonesia, Malaysia, Borneo Used for: Wood moldings, wooden blinds, parquet floors, wood handles Good choice or not? No. Contributes to deforestation and endangerment of wildlife, especially orangutans. Logging in Indonesia is banned, but illegal trade is rampant. Alternatives: FSC-certified oak from managed forests
Place of origin: Thailand, India, Burma, Indonesia, Ecuador, Costa Rica Used for: Indoor and outdoor furniture, boat building, flooring, picture frames, salad bowls Good choice or not? No. Buy only certified plantation teak; replanting is being undertaken in Ecuador and Costa Rica. Burmese teak helps fund that country's military regime, which routinely conscripts local people into slave labor. Alternatives: FSC-certified cherry from managed forests

Manners maketh books
E.S. Turner
- Debrett's Etiquette and Modern Manners edited by Elsie Burch Donald
Debrett, 400 pp, £8.95, June 1981, ISBN 0 905649 43 5
If the Knight of Glin, the MacKinnon of MacKinnon and the McGillicuddy of the Reeks did not exist, there might be less need of books of etiquette. These veterans of Debrett's Correct Form (where they rubbed shoulders with Midshipman the Duke of Loamshire, a difficult guest to place at table, especially with admirals present) are back trailing their dignities in Debrett's Etiquette and Modern Manners. However, the degree of overlap between the two works, both prefaced by Sir lain Moncreiffe of That Ilk, Chairman of Debrett, is not excessive. Correct Form was about how to address people; the new book concentrates on how not to offend them.

hi baby thats a nice masterpiece dude but there is no plate on it cmon add plate tnx
Forza did a mistake with this car because it's not a 250tr but based on the prototype of the 250tr presented by Ferrari and Scaglietti. But this prototype was a 290MM not a 250tr you can see it with the dashboards that are very different between the proto and one of a real 250tr.
Plus, all 250 tr with pontoon fenders are competition-client versions and was left hand drive, the officials versions was right hand drive and later rebuild without pontoon fenders.

CODING Q & A A Simple Guide to Coding AMD Treatments ANSWERS PROVIDED BY RIVA LEE ASBELL
Q. Can you provide me with a simple grid for coding for new technology pharmacotherapy AMD treatments?
A. Here you go!
Q. How do I code for combination therapies such as Ocular Photodynamic Therapy (OPT) and Macugen intravitreal injection when performed on the same day?
A. Sometimes different therapies are combined on the same day such as CPT code 67028 (Intravitreal injection) + CPT code 67221 (OPT). In this example both procedures have "0" days global period. Multiple-surgery rules apply you will be paid at 100% of OPT (6.01 RVUs) and 50% of the injection (4.10 RVUs). The math: payment on a national average is: $227.76 + $77.69 = $305.45. However, there is no multiple-surgery rule reduction for the second procedure if the procedures are performed on separate days. An appropriate modifier must be used when another procedure is performed within the global period of the first procedure, which may result in reduced payment. Modifier usage is not necessary if the global period is "0" days.
Q. Can we bill an office visit the same day as the Macugen injection? Our doctors are looking in the eye to determine whether or not the Macugen is working and to be sure that there is no other reason why they should not inject. The chart notes from the previous visit state that the plan is "possible Macugen injection".
A. For Medicare, if there is not a separately identifiable service then the office visit and a procedure cannot be charged on the same day. If the documented plan states the patient is to return for any procedure, be it a Macugen injection, further laser treatment, YAG capsulotomy or chalazion excision, then the office visit would not be billable unless the patient presented with a different problem or new symptoms.
A good policy for Macugen injections, now in draft form, that clarifies this policy can be found at www.EmpireMedicare.com under Local Coverage Determinations.

Charles Bryant
Birth date: | 11 May 1883 |
Birth place: | Australia: New South Wales, Sydney, Enmore |
Death date: | 22 January 1937 |
Death place: | Australia: New South Wales, Sydney, Manly |
Conflict: | First World War, 1914-1918 |
Born in Enmore, Sydney, Charles David Jones Bryant grew up in the beachside suburb of Manly, where he developed a fondness for the ocean and was a keen surfer and sailor. Bryant attended Sydney Grammar School and began a career as a clerk at the Bank of New South Wales (NSW), also studying art under W. Lister Lister and exhibiting with the Royal Art Society of NSW. In 1908 he travelled to London, first receiving instruction from John Hassell, then studying marine painting under seascape painter Julius Olsson RA at St. Ives in Cornwall. From early in his career he was interested in depicting coastal scenes and maritime subjects, once stating "I'm only happy when I am on the sea or near it". Bryant also worked as an illustrator, as with the Cassell & Co. Publication, Our ships, as well as exhibiting at the Royal Academy and in the Paris Salons.
In November 1917, he was appointed an official war artist, and formally enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) on 4 December 1917 with the rank of honorary lieutenant. Eight days later, he travelled to Messines in Belgium attached to the 2nd Division of the AIF. He wrote to Captain H.C. Smart, "I am feeling very fit but conditions for painting are very bad owing to the extreme cold - paint freezing all the time". The first month of his appointment was further hindered, as the bulk of his painting materials did not arrived until 15 January 1918. Yet, he persevered and managed several pictures before moving to the Western Front in France in early 1918, completing sketches and small paintings of bomb damaged villages and landscapes.
Bryant's appointment was particularly influenced by his reputation as a marine painter and he was requested by the AIF to illustrate the embarkation and disembarkation of Australian troops at Le Havre and Boulogne. In several paintings, he shows the 'dazzle' camouflaged hospital ships docked at busy ports, waiting to transport the seriously wounded back to England. Bryant's initial appointment of three months was regularly extended, terminated after the end of the war on 12 December 1918.
Bryant was then commissioned to paint the 1914 departure of the first contingent of the AIF and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force from Albany, Western Australia. He returned to Australia in 1921 and two years later was commissioned by the Australian War Memorial to paint works relating to the 1914 occupation of German New Guinea by Australian troops. Based in the coastal town of Rabaul, Bryant produced numerous intimate colourful images of the region that clearly show the presence of the Commonwealth, while retaining a strong sense of the serene atmosphere of sea, coastline and landscape.
Bryant was a founder of the Manly Art Gallery in 1924 and in 1929 vice president of the Royal Art Society of NSW. He continued to exhibit his works in Australia. Following a short illness, Bryant died in Sydney on 22 January 1937.

BOSTON — Elizabeth Warren has been sworn in as the state's newest U.S. Senator, the first woman from Massachusetts to hold the office.
The Democratic lawmaker took the oath of office during a ceremony today in the Senate chambers in Washington, D.C.
Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath.
Moments before the swearing-in, Warren sent an email to supporters thanking them for their help in last year's election.
Warren is planning to hold a reception and re-enactment of her swearing in ceremony on Saturday at Roxbury Community College in Boston.
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan will perform the mock swearing-in.
Kagan, the former dean of Harvard Law School where Warren taught, briefly became an issue during the election.

Publisher's Description
A man with a painful past. A child with a doubtful future. And a shared journey toward healing for both their hearts.
It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girls pretty yellow dress cant quite hide the ugly scar on her chest.
Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.
Before it's over, they'll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry . . . and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.
Martin has created highly developed characters, lifelike dialogue, and a well crafted story. He draws his readers along with just enough details, until the right time when the whole truth about Reeses past is revealed. When Crickets Cry is full of information about the heart, both as a muscle--the result of much research--and as the housing of our souls. Geared toward adults, this book is good reading for the story alone. However, because of its soulful insights, it also would make an excellent addition to any church library as a counseling tool.

WHEN CRICKETS CRY is well written, with lots of symbolism, foreshadowing, literary illusions and a few scripture quotes. We fell in love with these characters. Their problems were relatable, and we suffered right along with them to the final conclusions, rooting for them all the way.
Treeca Adams5 Stars Out Of 5February 19, 2010Treeca Adams"When Crickets Cry," by Charles Martin is perhaps one of the best books I've read in a very long time.

However, the ending was a bit disappointing and somewhat confusing. Overall though, I am glad I read it, because it depicted real human emotion. It makes you laugh and cry and I would definitely recommend this book.

Laughably. Lopez had 7 defenses against fighters with 10 or fewer wins and five more title wins against guys with 14 or fewer wins. It's also laughable to say he had more 'ability.' He was more fundamentally sound in a classic sense but Roy was hardly ever touched for about a decade with legit one punch power in three classes and some of the fastest hands in the history of the sport. Ability? Whatever. Roy had a disappointing career at times and could have done much more, but it doesn't begin to compete with how much more Lopez could have done. Both were ATGs of their own regard and I wouldn't have either top 20. I'd have Roy a hell of a distance in front of Lopez. Last edited by crold1; 12-22-2012 at 10:04 PM. |
